Welcome to this bilingual (Swedish-English) group blog by family members living on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, "the pond". Our interests range from the scientific to the eclectic, including gourmet food, horses, art and literature, computers, species in nature, history and iron, and photography. Three generations are posting here.
On Shorpy Historic Photographs, you always find something interesting. How about a bike shop from 1919 in Washington, DC, USA? Look how the different workers have their place - women on the balcony, away from the oil (accountants? secretaries), the foreman or salesman in a suit in the front, and the repairmen in the back. I love the floor and the wood counter.

image not showing for me...
No? Is there a link you see? What browser are you using - it works great in Firefox on PC.
There is an issue with the photo - it only shows sometimes. I will fix it later today, ok?
Photo is fixed!
This looks just like the Mountain Bike Specialists shop on Main Avenue in Durango, Colorado, today!
Seriously.
